Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students need to read at level 6 at the end of the year to be on grade level. Some of my students have not yet discovered books that capture their imaginations. This could be the year that magic happens and they fall in love with books and make them lifelong readers. They love listening to books!
We are a kindergarten dual language classroom in a public school in Connecticut.
Our students are learning English and Spanish in our program. They are learning to read and write in both languages. Our students are motivated and excited to learn two languages! Many of my students receive free and reduced lunch.
My Project
First, I would use the individual book titles to teach a point to the class.
My students would listen to a story at the listening center with a small group of friends and look for that teaching point. They would have the opportunity to discuss story elements, retell and ask questions about the story within the group. They would have to return to their seats to fill out a Listening Center Response sheet to rate and reflect on the story independently. They can decorate the response sheet with designs they cut out and glue onto the response paper.
These skills correspond to the Common Core Curriculum RLK 1, 3, 4 and 7.
The students would be able to listen, speak, write, cut and color during this activity. They would have the opportunity to speak with one another and then respond to the story individually.
They would find the materials in the organizers. They would be able to write, cut out and glue their final story report.
Through these materials and this project, my students will be making judgments, arguments, providing evidence, and justification for their work.
They will be evaluating, questioning, synthesizing and creating a thoughtful response to literature. They will have the opportunity to work in flexible grouping, which will promote collaboration in multiple contexts, peer critique and eventually, collaboration beyond the classroom. If they learn these skills in kindergarten, they will be ready for life.
